My main Bleach fanfic. YAY!!
Forgotten Bonds Part I.
Chapter 1: New Faces
Sunny morning in Sereitei in Squad 8captain's room.
Kyoraku could hear footsteps coming towards his room. "Man I hope it isn't Nanao, or she would probably whack me over the head with the sake bottle for drinking this early in the morning, but I just love it when she gets angry" Kyoraku said to himself.
The door opened and his fourth seat, Hishirama Soukyou was standing there with what looked like a bunch of paperwork that Kyoraku groaned to himself when he saw it. "Captain I brought the paperwork that needs-Captain? Captain" he yelled "don't tell me you're already drunk. It's only 9 in the morning for god's sake."
"Aww, come on you're being like Nanao. Scolding me for drinking and telling me to do paperwork, you guys are no fun" Kyoraku said with a slight frown on his face. "By the way, care to have a drink with me before you head off?"
"HELL NO!" Hishirama yelled so loud that everyone in the squad could hear him. "I don't drink sake like all you drunks do. And besides, I don't want to get drunk before I go and meet up with this Ichigo guy in Karakura Town."
"Ah yes, Kurosaki-san. Do tell him that I said hi" Kyoraku said.
"Yeah yeah whatever, but I still need to get Hishirou from the 3rd squad barracks and take him with me before I leave" Hishirama told him.
"Why ya takin' him with you?" Kyoraku asked.
"Well he is my son after all, and I decided that I should take him with me to save a trip to the real world" he answered.
"Well then, have fun meeting Kurosaki-san" Kyoraku said when Hishirama walked out the door.
Squad 3 barracks.
"See ya lieutenant Izuru" Hishirou said waving goodbye to him.
"See ya, take care in the real world and don't forget the training" Izuru yelled back at him.
"Don't worry, I wont forget" he said running around the corner and bumping into Hishirama.
"Well in a hurry to get to the real world aren't we" Hishirama said helping Hishirou up off the ground.
"Yeah, this is the first time since the training in the academy that I'll be going to the real world" he said with a smile on his face. "Oh and father, guess what. I learned the name of my Zanpaktou today!"
"Really?! Well what's its name then" he asked the excited boy.
"Its name is Fushichou and it's a fire type Zanpaktou" he said.
"Ah cool" Hishirama said with a smile on his face. "But did I tell you the name of my Zanpaktou yet?"
"Um, no you didn't. What is it?" he asked his father.
"It is Raikage and it is a lightning type" he said. "But that's enough talk of our Zanpaktou, we should get to the Senkai Gate since it's almost time to go."
At the Senkai Gate.
"It's all ready for you to go through now" one of the men at the gate said.
"All right, lets go Hishirou" Hishirama said.
"Okay then" he said as they ran through the Senkai Gate both with a Hell Butterfly following them.
"Man, it's been awhile since I've gone through a Senkai Gate that I'd forgotten how the Dangai Precipice World looked" Hishirama said chuckling to himself.
"How many years has it been?" Hishirou asked.
Hishirama was about to answer when he was cut off by a strange noise coming from ahead. "What the hell is that?" He was soon answered by the walls collapsing around him. "Shit, who the hell is doing this?"
About five or so hollow appeared seeming to be lead by an Adjuchas or something. "We have grown tired of you using our world as a passage way to the world of the living and Soul Society" the Adjuchas said.
"This is the only way to get from each of the dimensions and we-" Hishirama stopped when he saw that the Adjuchas had captured Hishirou.
"We will take this one as prisoner, and if you try anything then we will kill him" the Adjuchas said and used Sonido to escape into Hueco Mundo.
"Damn it all" Hishirama said cursing to himself. "Damn, I've heard stories of people coming back from Hueco Mundo only to find that they had been turned into Vizards from the environment, I just hope he can make it back."
Back to the hollow gang.
When Hishirou finally came to he realized that he had been taken prisoner, but the hollow had taken him too lightly thinking that he was a defenseless little kid. He quietly released his Zanpaktou and escaped from the gang only to find that he was in a giant forest.
Hishirama had been following Hishirou's reiatsu the entire time and when he got to the place, all he found was more and more sand. That's all Hueco Mundo was, just a giant fucking sandbox with a bunch of dead twigs stuck into the ground. "Man everything looks the same in this hellhole of a desert" he cursed to himself. But a moment later a hollow dragged him below the surface of the sand into the Menos Forest. "Damn hollow, get out of my fucking way" he yelled as he cut the hollow in half. He shook the blood off of his sword and started looking for Hishirou.
"Don't think you can run from us forever you little brat" the Adjuchas said running after Hishirou.
"Who said I was running away from you, I was just looking for someone" he called back as he ran behind a tree where his father had been watching. "Now?" Hishirou asked.
……. "Now!" he yelled coming from behind the tree. "Strike, Raikage!" His Zanpaktou changed form and Hishirou could feel his father's reiatsu building up for an attack, and he was right. "Raikiri" Hishirama yelled sending the Adjuchas flying into a tree.
"Ugh, damn you bastard" the Adjuchas said in between coughs.
"Now then, if you don't want to die then I suggest you open a Garganta to the world of the living right now" Hishirama ordered pointing Raikage at the Adjuchas's head.
"Ha ha, fine then" he said tearing open a Garganta to the world of the living.
"Goodbye, Adjuchas" Hishirama said leaving with Hishirou through the Garganta.
"I will have my revenge on you some day, Shinigami" the Adjuchas said with a vengeful look.
In the Garganta.
"Hey father?" Hishirou asked his father.
"What is it Hishirou?" he asked.
"Is, is it normal to hear a voice other than the voice of your Zanpaktou in your head?" Hishirou asked his father.
Hishirama's eyes went wide with shock and fear. Shit. This is bad very bad. Did those hollow really have that much time to do that to him. If it is so, then we need to have a talk with Urahara. Hishirama thought.
"Father?" Hishirou asked bringing him back to speed. "Are you okay, you kind of spaced out for a sec there?"
"Yeah I'm okay" he said with a fake smile on his face. "Look, we're coming out of the Garganta."
When they came out of the Garganta they found that it was nightfall already.
"Man how long did we spend in Hueco Mundo? We were supposed to arrive here by noon and it's already around 6 o'clock." Hishirama said with a long sigh.
"We should find a place to sleep after we get our Gigai shouldn't we?" Hishirou asked.
"Yeah, we'll stay at Urahara's place for tonight since we're going there anyways" he replied back.
At Urahara's shop.
"Hey long time no see, Hishirama" Urahara commented in his usual goofy way with his fan in front of his face.
"Shut it Kisuke, we came here for two reasons. Reason 1: to get our Gigai, and reason 2: to find a place to stay the night." Hishirama explained.
"Well you're welcome to stay here as long as you like Hishirama" Urahara told him.
After everyone had gone to sleep, Hishirama and Urahara snuck to the underground training room to discuss something.
"Kisuke, there's something I have to talk to you about" Hishirama said.
"Let me guess, it's about Hishirou, isn't it?" Urahara asked.
"Yeah. You see while we were in Hueco Mundo, the hollow did something to him" he said with a concerned look on his face.
"Did they turn him into a Vizard?" Urahara asked.
"That's my guess since he said he was hearing a voice other than his Zanpaktou's voice in his head" Hishirama explained.
"Well then, this is bad" Urahara said.
"Can you help him?" Hishirama asked.
"No" Urahara said bluntly, "but, I do know who cam help him." Urahara gave him a piece of paper with an address written on it. "Go to this address, the people there are jut like him but have control over their inner hollows. Oh and you could also ask for Kurosaki's help while you're at it."
"Thanks. But why ask Kurosaki?" Hishirama asked him.
"Kurosaki is also a Vizard" Urahara said. "and I suggest you go to them as soon as you can before his hollow starts taking over, otherwise he might lose the inner battle before it even begins."
